Diagnosed with UTI, but now have black stool??
by jackyk, Sep 03, 2009 01:18AM
Yesterday I went to see my doctor after having blood in my urine (noticed when I wiped) and after a urine sample was taken my doctor told me that I have a UTI (doctor said I had pus and blood in my urine) and gave me a script for antibiotics to take for 7 days. This morning I have been feeling really nauseas and when I went for a number 2, I noticed that my stool was black and tarry looking like.
I have no idea why as I haven't eaten anything that could turn it into black and was wondering whether I should go back to my doctor and whether the black stool is anything to worry about? I'm taking prenatal vitamins and have been taking them for 2 months and haven't noticed my stool being black before, so unsure whether this could be the cause?
Thank you.

Black tarry stools must be investigated. The medical name is MELENA and I suggest that you ask (a) if this is what is wrong with you and (b) what to do about it. Look up melena on google so that you are better informed.
